AltSnap - AltSnap 1.55

Published by RamonUnch about 2 years ago

This release brings a lot of improvements to the table,so you might expect regressions and new bugs.

New action, you can now pop up a Stacked window list that will show the list of windows that are stacked with the pointed window. You can then select the window you want and it will be set to the foreground. Shift extends the stack to all windows that are under the mouse pointer.
New action: Next/Prev stacked window, available as mouse action and as wheel action. Again add shift to extend the stack.
New: Now an indicator for windows that were set AlwaysOnTop can be set. Check the Show an indicator on always on top windows option in the Advanced tab. The indicator will also show a list of other AlwaysOnTop windows when right-clicked. You can also set the PinColor option in the [Input] section of the .ini and the PinRate option in the [Performance] section of the .ini can be used to set the color of the indicator and the rate at which it gets refreshed.
New: You can now setup any keyboard shortcut for any action. Note that this creates system level keyboard shortcuts and you will be unable to setup a shortcut that already existed (this is a good thing). Go to the Keyboard tab of the config dialog, select the option for which you want to setup a shortcut, then edit it manually or click the Pick keys button and press your shortcut, then hit the Save button. You can decide whether those keyboard-only actions should apply to the pointed or to the focused window. #264, #268 You will need to reconfigure Kill on Ctrl+Alt+F4 and such.
New keyboard-only actions to move/extend the window to the surrounding zones in the snap layout.
New: Now you can set up MoveUpT and ResizeUpT actions to be performed when the click was performed inside the titlebar. CHECK YOUR CONFIG, as those options did not exist before and will default to Nothing. The options were also added to the GUI.
New: Two Zoom window action that can be setup for a mouse wheel. The first one will resize only vertically/horizontally when the mouse points at the pure side sectors, and the second one will always zoom proportionally instead. #239
New: To fix menu not getting canceled in some cases, you can add the DragSendsAltCtrl option in the [Advanced] section of the ini. #255
New now you can set the value of BLUpperBorder in the [Advanced] section of the .ini file and it will select in the same fashion than BLCapButtons but this time only for the top resizing border. Default value is also 3 to prevent left and right button to trigger AltSnap in the top resizing borders. BLCapButtons now concerns only the caption buttons and no longer the top resizing border.
Now you can customize the action menu by adding or removing menu items using the ACMenuItems option in the [Advanced] section of the .ini file. Default value is -1 for all menu entries. #240
Updated German translation thanks to @Ichisich

GUI: Now the SnapGap option is available through the GUI. #200
Fixed #150: The top owner window is now used for the always on top action. This avoids some parts of the program not being affected.
Fixed #235: Inconsistent focusing of windows.
Fixed #274: The window is now refocused when the action menu is canceled.
Fixed: More reliable prevention of menu activation and/or start menu popping up problems.
Fixed: Window maximum and minimum sized would be ignored in center resizing mode, leading to window running outside the screen when resizing it beyond their maximum size.
Fixed: Focus windows when dragging not working in some cases. #250
Fixed: The titlebar Action menu not disappearing on defocusing in some cases. #263.

AltSnap - AltSnap 1.54

Published by RamonUnch about 2 years ago

This is mostly a bug-fix release, Update is recommended.

New: You can now set UseZones=9 in the [Zones] section of the .ini file and Windows will snap to the layout without having to press Shift. Pressing shift or hitting space will disable zone-snapping instead. #219
Now if you use Zones, and disable the Toggle maximize state with the resize button while moving advanced option, then Zone snapping will be toggled by any secondary buttons, like with FancyZones. #219
New: Now you can set the opacity of the hollow rectangle (0-255) used when the show window content while dragging option is disabled or when FullWin=0. to do this you must modify the TransWinOpacity value in the [Performance] section of the .ini file. #223
New now you can set the value of BLCapButtons in the [Advanced] section of the .ini file to choose for each mouse button if the titlebar action will be or not extended to the caption buttons and the top resizing border. Use BLCapButtons=0 if you want all buttons to consider the extended caption and use -1 for none of them. The default value is 3 to avoid the extended caption for the left and right mouse buttons so that AltSnap avoids interaction with the minimize, maximize and close caption buttons ([_] [O] [X]). If you are unsure stick to the default value
New now you can set the value of BLCapButtons, in the [Advanced] section of the .ini file, to choose, for each mouse button, if the titlebar action will be or not extended to the caption buttons and the top resizing border. Use BLCapButtons=0 if you want all buttons to consider the extended caption and use -1 for none of them. The default value is 3 to avoid the extended caption for the left and right mouse buttons so that AltSnap avoids interaction with the minimize, maximize and close caption buttons ([_] [O] [X]). If you are unsure stick to the default value. If you want less titlebar detection use -1. #236

Now a check-mark in the action menu will indicate the always on top state of the pointed window. Same for Maximized and Borderless flags (#184).
Changed: Now when auto Snapping is enabled at the maximum level, then pressing shift will disable snapping instead of doing nothing.
Changed: Now several keys can be selected for the alternate action ie: the ModKey value in the [Input] section is a key list and works like the Hotkeys value. Same was applied to HScrollKey. (#207)
Fixed: Now smarter areo-snapping will be properly re-enabled when you release Shift. (#211)
Fixed: Snapping to the layout will no longer ignore the Max snapping speed option. (#218)
Fixed multiple Action menu popping up in some cases. (#213)
Fixed some stuck mouse buttons in some cases when using the Move Windows with a long left click option.
Fixed #220, Minic aero snapping is no longer necessary for Snapping to the snap layout (Zones).
Fixed: Modifying the config will no longer reset the UseZones value.
Fixed #226, #229: Now the DWMWA_CAPTION_BUTTON_BOUNDS rectangle is used to ensure that we are inside a titlebar and not caption buttons. This fixes an annoying Windows 10 bug.
Fixed, now the common french e dans l'o œ character is available in the default extended character menu (LATIN SMALL/CAPITAL LIGATURE OE).
Updated Chinese translation, thanks to @yatli
